Background and Objective: Different studies have investigated the link between helicobacter pylori and extra digestive diseases such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. However, the relationship between ITP and H pylori is less clear. Most of the studies have focused on H pylori eradication in chronic ITP, so we focused on the effect of H pylori eradication on chronicity of ITP in adult pat...

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) is a common bacterial infection, with considerably high morbidity and mortality worldwide. This bacterium represents a key factor in the etiology of various chronic infections ranging from gastritis, peptic ulcer disease to gastric cancer; but the prevalence has large variations in different communities. The aim of this study was to estimate the preval...

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) is the most prevalent human infection in half of the world population. Few studies investigated the reasons of infection to H pylori in societies. The current study was designed i to examine the relationship of food insecurity and quality of life with H pylori infection. Methods: In this case- control study, 200 candidates were selected among the peopl...

background helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infection is common among humans and plays a major role in the etiology of peptic ulcer disease with significant morbidity in patients with hiv-1 on antiretroviral therapy. there are conflicting prevalence patterns of h. pylori in hiv-1 infected patients using various methods of detection. the noninvasive technique used for detection of h. pylori infec...

  Background and Objectives:  Helicobacter pylori cause a chronic gastric infection, and may cause extra gastrointestinal disease. The association between H. pylori infection and serum lipid profiles is still controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate any possible relationship between H. pylori infection and lipid levels. Materials and Methods: The subj...

Objective(s): KRAS proto-oncogene mutation can be considered a diagnostic factor for treating various malignancies. Helicobacter pylori infection, a risk factor for stomach cancer, may cause DNA damage and genetic changes. The aim of the current study was to assess the association of gastric cancer and KRAS mutation, demographic factors, and H. pylori infection.<...

Helicobacter pylori is the causative agent of gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. Eradication of H. pylori is hard to achieve and often require multiple antibiotics regimens. These regimens are quite expensive and have substantial side effects. Licorice is a traditional drug which is frequently used for gastric discomforts in Iran. The susceptibility of H. pylori to the extract of licorice has ...

helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is a spiral-shaped gram negative bacterium that naturally colonizes the human gastric epithelium. in recent years, large evidence has come to the literature strongly proposing causal link between h. pylori and extra gastric disorders. cardiovascular system is one of the extra gastric organs that can be affected by h. pylori infection. the first evidence suggestiv...

To improve our understanding of Helicobacter  infection in cats and to determine whether they are reservoirs for H. pylori  and sources of zoonotic transmission to humans, we selected cats as an experimental animal model for gastric colonization by H. pylori. Sixteen stray cats underwent Helicobacter  eradication treatment followed by three consecutive oral inoculations of a cocktail of human H...
